It's seriously tragic that our KD delusion will prevent an Ingram/Beal trade, something that could really do wonders for us.

To what end? And didn't you and I discuss a Lebron delusion for 12 straight months last season?

Yes, but we also assumed George was a lock. So why doesn't being wrong about that inform our guesses on KD's intentions? That's way more instructive IMO. Lebron came here way more for non-basketball reasons than for basketball reasons.

KD is not making Space Jam 2 or starting a film production company or moving his family to the city they want to live in.

I mean, all this tells me is that you and I have no clue

So why not be patient if Magic thinks it's prudent to be patient in pursuit of KD?

If the downside wasn't missing out on a chance to turn Ingram into a really good player, and watching his value tank as he stays the same guy next year, i could be. But it's hard to imagine him improving as a player or trade chip on the same team as Lebron.

If they are trying to use him without LBJ... they need to put him with shooters.

BI/Hart/Svi/Beasley/Mo might work

Ingram's not good enough to run the offense when they can cheat off of two or three of the players.

He was bad tonight, but they need to play him or Zo with shooters if LBJ isn't on the floor.

Yeah, KD is thin but strong. BI is a skeleton that a high schooler could probably push off the block.

that would be KD that compared him to KD

Link?

Well, he did. When they were together on those Team USA practices. He said that it was like looking in a mirror and he said that BI was ahead of him at this time. All BS, all lip-service. KD and BI's timeline into the NBA is EXACTLY the same. Both played one year in college, and both are born in September. Just look up KD's stats and you'll know he was just freaking being nice, too nice.
